So we stopped to dip our feet in the fountain at the Navy Monument. I apologize for the crappy quality of some of these pictures. For some reason I took them with my iPhone even though I had my real camera in my purse. Go figure.

We headed towards the lawn of the mall when it got closer to fireworks time and managed to find a spot among the throng of people that were there. Seriously, way more people than I thought! We brought blankets and ate popsicles while we waited for it to get dark.

Actually not sure what this building is, but it was pretty and right next to us!
Once it got dark the fireworks started! They didn't last as long as I would have liked but they were still beautiful, especially with the Washington Monument. Though we quickly realized why the spot that we chose was empty. We had to deal with the giant (thankfully OFF) spotlight that obscured our view. Regardless, we still had a great time!
Fireworks!

I think that building is the "castle" of the Smithsonian. It's where the information desk is.. I think some other stuff is there too, like a cafe or something. I know that's where we got a map that told us where to go to see different things in the Smithsonian. I'm glad you had a good 4th and that you didn't melt in the heat! <3 you!
Oh, okay! I always thought it was so pretty but I haven't been inside it yet to figure out what it was. Thanks :) <3 you too!
